 * @class GEnergy
 *
 * @brief Class that handles energies in a unit independent way.
 *
 * The GEnergy class stores an energy value in units of MeV and implements
 * methods that provide automatic conversion of the energy values in other
 * units. This makes instrument specific implementations more robust and
 * reduces the risk of unit errors. The method also holds on request the
 * log10 of the energy in MeV, which is only recomputed when the energy
 * value is changed. This considerably reduces the number of log10 operations
 * in many applications and speeds up the performance.
